The basic cost of selling an item is the insertion fee plus the final value fee, plus fees for any optional features and services you may use:

• When you list an item on eBay, you're charged an insertion fee.
• If the item sells, you're also charged a final value fee. Final value fees are calculated based on the total amount of the sale.*
• You may also be charged fees for any optional features or services you may use.
• PayPal fees may also apply.

*The total amount of the sale equals the cost of the item, shipping charges, and any other amounts you may charge the buyer. Sales tax is not included in the total amount of the sale.

Insertion and final value fees vary based on the category and listing format you use, either auction-style or fixed price.

All fees are in US dollars.
